>This is getting pretty ridiculous. IE is not an XML parser, period. IE is an application that uses an XML parser. >The XML spec has nothing to say about what the correct behavior of a >browser is It says that after a fatal error the processor (=parser) must not continue to pass data to the application in the normal way. The point of this is to ensure that applications - of which browsers are a canonical example - do not accept not-well-formed documents without at least making this clear to the user. If you look through the old XML SIG archives you will find at least one statement from Microsoft confirming (explicitly in the context of browsers) that they intend to conform to this. >and CERTAINLY does not make this strange distinction between >read-only and edit-capable that you seem to be implying. The distinction is not within the XML spec. It is between applications which use conforming XML processors and those which don't. It has always been obvious that editors (other than strict structure editors) unlike browsers would not be able to be use conforming XML processors. -- Richard
